QUOTES ABOUT CHOICE

You are the person
who has to decide. Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside; you are the person
who makes up your mind. Whether you’ll lead or will linger behind. Whether
you’ll try for the goal that’s afar. Or just be contented to stay where you
are.

Choice. I needed it
like I needed air. But no one could hear me. No one could listen. No words.

was.
